Project Overview

Located in Karnataka, the project consists in the construction of a 21MW wind farm in the district of Koppal. It is constructed to deliver renewable power to the Indian power grid. A total of 10 turbines are installed, each with an individual capacity of 2,100kW.

In total, the wind farm generates around 48,000 MWh of clean electricity every year.

Project Narrative

Gegenstand des vorliegenden Projektes in Karnataka sind der Bau und Betrieb eines 21-MW-Windparks im Distrikt Koppal. Die Anlage liefert sauberen Strom aus einer emissionsfreien Energiequelle und speist sie in das indische Stromnetz ein. Insgesamt arbeiten in dem Windpark 10 Turbinen mit einer Leistung von jeweils 2.1 MW, die zusammen rund 48.000 MWh sauberen Strom liefern. Basierend auf dem durchschnittlichen Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch in Indien produziert dieses Projekt damit genug Strom, um den Jahresbedarf von fast 60.000 Menschen zu decken.
